How to Reply When Someone Says “Hey”
Ways to move beyond “hey” without forcing a cheesy line. Answer the greeting, then give the conversation a direction with a specific question or observation.
Why this helps
Aptex is built around one problem: you know the situation, but you do not know what to type next. Give it a real message when you have one, or ask for an opener when there is no previous message. Then choose the tone that sounds like you.

Ask something easy to answer
Questions about a preference, story, choice or recent event usually give the other person more to work with.
Use real context
When there is an actual message, paste it. When there is not, start a new conversation instead of inventing a reply.

Questions
Should I use a generated line word-for-word?
Use it as a starting point. Edit it until it sounds natural in your own voice.
What if there is no previous message?
Do not invent one. Use a conversation starter or another start-mode tool instead.
